Toxic psychological warfare

[@linuss9710]

Unrealistic. These kids would throw much more extreme slurs back at you.

[@mareker]

Hehe. My first experience with mic online was a 10 year old that would swear more in a minute, than all of the adults I know in a day. He actually said, he learned english from porn movies 😳

[@JannPoo]

Plot twist: the other party used a more advanced psychological warfare by pretending to be kids.

[@JDub-TV]

That's what I originally thought. That they were using voice changers to trip people up.

[@EujenSandu]

@@JDub-TV Well, we can all clearly hear that those are totally not real kids voices, so I back this theory up!

[@AidenWarren]

This does happen when people try to act pro by cheesing anything to win and when they still lose, they insult ppl and continue to insult when parents respond back to not insult their children and they still continue to insult and get banned for it. They go in real rage because after spending a lot of money on the game. Games: DC Universe Online, Destiny, Division.

[@drolingink]

That's what I was thinking😅 They all threw on the voicemod set to child and WRECKED the vldl team... good job, Rowan. An excellent lesson in the effects of successful psychological warfare.

Oh please, if anything 30 years of gaming has told me is that the kids would absolutely eviscerate them all with completely new combinations of words and creativity absolutely unheard of.

[@xxlCortez]

Normally, yes but with their luck, they found the only decent kids.

[@triadwarfare]

Well, this is how we got new memes like Skibidi Toilet.

[@velvetkay]

It was actually my 13 year old nephew who introduced me to a now iconic Russian expletive. He started gaming online when he was 12, maybe even 11.

[@VegasMax3]

Less eviscerate, more confuse. Like what does that combination of words even mean?

[@chadhOneAtl]

Still thankfully depends. My daughter at that age would be as confused as those kids were.

[@Jarsia]

Love how Rowan was just standing there with a look of mixed shock and pride when Adam let loose. Like a proud and somewhat concerned parent.

[@Jelraclix]

Then, he was the first to completely flip at finding out they were kids. The look on his face was screaming, "What have I done?"

I'm an ex-teacher. You hear toxic stuff like that all the time not only from students but parents. Nearly every teacher, after about 6 months, would've listened to all that and said calmly, "Hmm...I'm sure you have a point there. Mind expanding on it?"

[@freddykabuffke461]

[@MrSalvarion]

You really do touch on a very real problem with many online games. Being toxic, both in words and playstyle is WAY too often rewarded, cause the producers know that many will end up buying (microtransactions) stuff to get back at who ever ridiculed them. It's quite sad actually. And that's the beauty with comedy. You can bring up touchy subjects for debate with humor. Love it. VLDL ftw. Also... Adam clearly just let out all his frustrations from Bored, PuBG, and pretty much any sketch apart from being Baradun the dickhead. xD

[@BlackPhoenix23]

We were all talking like adults, friendly banter, sexual innuendos and all that cause you know, it's 1.30 AM, even the server GM was going along cause there are no kids anymore...... it wasn't all adults, there was an 8 year old girl. We were genuinely concerned as why a little kid would be there at that time. The average age was like 24, why was she there. We were just asking question as, does your mom know you're online at this time? "Yeah, she's right here next to me watching tv", it just sounded so dysfunctional and weird.

At the first glimpse of toxicity, one goes straight into my blacklist 🎉 . I'm all about sportmanship and despise disrespectful peeps (martial artist my whole life, I cannot fathom the idea of treating your opponent, or teammate that is, like a sub human). Also, I honestly couldn't be bothered to argue with angsty teens which I assume they all are or immature/uncivilized adults. Some call it banter I call it bad manner. You win: be humble about it, you lose, do not be a sore loser. Sidenote: Bullying your teammate really just highlight your insecurities.
